Sitting, waiting, wishing.

It is December, and with December I expect snow.
We have a little, but not enough to do anything. The kids at work are also ready for some snow. A few of them tried to go sledding down the small hill we have. But with more leafs than snow, it didn't go very well.
But snow is more than just sledding. It means picking out a Christmas tree!
Ryan, Emma, and I are often the ones who pick out the tree. Lately because we are the only ones home. But I have been picking out trees since fifth grade. Which means I know what to look for.
I have made a list of my favorite things about snow.
1. Sledding. One of the few things I do outside, being that a hate ice.
2. Time to get the tree. As I said I am an expert.
3. Layering clothes. Winter is so much easier to dress for than summer. It is just a matter of putting on more clothes.
4. Christmas shopping. I LOVE getting people's gifts
5. Hot apple cider. I enjoy this more than hot chocolate.
6. Christmas movies. Tis the time to watch animated movies. I'm looking for "the toy that saved Christmas.
7. A break from school and work. Since I work at a school, I don't often have to work when I don't have school. So I can fully enjoy my break.
I'm hoping for a large snow storm. But it doesn't look likely.
